HACKD I feel your pain for having a nice AEG DOA on you trust me it wont be the first or last, the only thing you can do is chalk this up as a learning experience you really can't blame Frank at TA as he is only the middle guy. the process of warranty from G&P has fucked so many people that if I were to piss and moan about every G&P internal that broke DOA from G&P guns I've bought over the years I would be a very rich man. The G&P internals particularly the gears are known issue, everything else on the gun is a beauty but that small gears and shimming issue seem to be the only one shared by many G&P aeg owners and equally dispised by all.
G&P as a brand is a reputable brand, certainly much better and considered to be the top 5 in terms of AEG products, one can only wonder why they still have not gotten around to fix teh same issue that has been plaguing their entire AEG line for the better half of a decade. if you would have done your research you would have anticipate the gear issue, and you would have probably have a solution to it being that the spring that came with the gun is a far stronger spring than stock. Like I and a few others have said chalk this up as a learning experience and move on as far as TA responsibility? well the next time you should have just waited and let them opened it up that way there are no confusionas to who is responsible for what. I have a M249SF that is still at their showroom to be downgraded before I pick it up.
